1st February 1996
Sim City 2000
Reviewed some months back, but delayed for the PAL conversion and scheduling, this is the perfect game for a sedate post-Christmas gaming interval, where late night sessions follow all-day turkey munching binges.
Sim City is the sort of game that rewards time invested, especially for those who actually know how to read a manual! We'd say it was a game for grown-ups and school swots.
In comparison with the PC versions, it does suffer from slow-running, a fact that annoys us as much now as then. Subsequently, Sim City 2000, although recognised as a 'classic', is not one as such on the Saturn.
Verdict
Overall 85%
Nice, but suffering from a couple of confusions in the left gameplay lobe. The boffins should be pleased.
